* This example assumes the Chilkat API to have been previously unlocked.
* See Global Unlock Sample for sample code.

loHttp = CreateObject('Chilkat.Http')

* The XML sent in the body of the request is application
* specified -- it should contain whatever the server-side
* application is expecting..
lcXmlStr = '<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>'

lcUrlEndpoint = "http://www.chilkatsoft.com/xmlEcho.asp"
lcXmlCharset = "utf-8"

loResp = CreateObject('Chilkat.HttpResponse')
lnSuccess = loHttp.HttpStr("POST",lcUrlEndpoint,lcXmlStr,lcXmlCharset,"application/xml",loResp)
IF (lnSuccess = 0) THEN
    ? loHttp.LastErrorText
    RELEASE loHttp
    RELEASE loResp
    CANCEL
ENDIF

* The raw HTTP request sent by the above call is:

* POST /xmlEcho.asp HTTP/1.1
* Content-Type: text/xml
* Host: www.chilkatsoft.com
* Accept: */*
* Accept-Charset: ISO-8859-1,utf-8;q=0.7,*; q=0.7

* 
* <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?><appXml><something>123</something></appXml>
